“Khaki by day — Bellagio chic by night! ✨ Here in #LasVegas for the #SteveIrwinGala raising funds and awareness for Wildlife Warriors,” Bindi, 26, wrote in the caption. “Supporting conservation and remembering Dad’s extraordinary legacy. Enormous gratitude to everyone for your support as we continue to do all that we can to protect wildlife and wild places for the future generations.”
In the first photo, Bindi posed with mom Terri, 60, and brother Robert, 21, in front of a row of buildings overlooking a waterfront in Las Vegas as they each wore matching khaki Australia Zoo conversation shirts.

In February, Bindi said losing her father at such a young age left “a scar on [my] heart” while speaking about his death on the A Life of Greatness podcast.
“I remember when I was little and dad had just died and every adult I saw would say to me, ‘Time heals all wounds’ and I remember thinking, ‘what in the heck does that mean?’ ” the wildlife conservationist said.
”Now, at 26, that information is wrong … time changes your grief, time changes your perspective … That feeling is just a part of me, its like a scar on your heart,” Bindi added.
